A custom jewelry photo shoot
I just spent the last 10 hours photographing jewelry for my friend who creates these beautiful custom pieces. I have never done light-box photography; this was my first attempt at catalog style images. I am learning about indirect lighting, back lighting, white balance, tone mapping in post production, etc. A bit of an undertaking that I was not quite ready for; but for my first attempt, I don't think they are too bad! This was one that made it through post production - I have a long way to go to get them all produced and exported! These images will be used on the website, in a catalog, and some will be printed.
Signe is the artist who creates these beautiful pieces of jewelry - each one hand crafted. See more of her work at Signeture Line. My eyes are about to fall out of my head, and so I will continue this project tomorrow! I hope that she likes the images, and that they are the way she would like to represent her pieces.
This particular piece is made from genuine beach glass found on a Lake Erie beach, fancy bezel set. The pendant is made of 16 gauge square sterling wire.
You did an awesome job! Kudos for learning about a lot of things I want to learn too! I think the best way is to do what you did - just jump in and do it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks fantastic! I assume you just invert the white background in the lightbox?
ReplyDeleteLooks real nice Yolanda. A couple of weeks ago I did some of that for my wife's college bookstore Website. There's a fair amount of post production work. Your shot looks very professional!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing just fine so far. I have a friend, a professional photographer who has done this extensively. He has told me that even for him it's not always easy. Good for you though. Just keep trying.
